Ned
The entirety of Ned's participation in the music retail industry is a closely guarded state secret. Regrettably, Ned does not know this and continues to divulge critical information of the most diabolically helpful nature. This reckless and appalling villain will answer inquiries from anyone daring enough to contact him. Evidence of this continued and frightful practice is clearly visible from the International Space Station. It's really cool, you should check it out sometime.
Dan
Dan Flaherty’s guitar journey began in high school, and he’s been building, tweaking, and rocking out with guitars ever since. As a founding member of the Southwestern Ontario Luthiers Guild, Dan loves swapping tips, tricks, and stories with fellow builders and modders.
His professional superpowers—broadcasting, communications, and marketing—help shine the spotlight on Music City Canada, sharing its vibrant, one-of-a-kind vibe with both new and longtime customers.
For Dan, Music City (and London Guitars) isn’t just a store—it’s an adventure, a playground, and a must-visit destination for guitar lovers of all ages and skill levels, from first-time strummers to seasoned pros.
